Dr. Isabel Méndez received her bachelor’s degree in Pharmaceutical Biology Chemistry from the
Faculty of Chemistry, she earned a master’s in Biomedical Basic Research and a PhD in Biomedical Sciences at Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. She worked as an Associate Researcher at Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición Salvador Zubirán, studying the isoforms of prolactin and its impact on the dopaminergic tone in systemic lupus erythematosus patients. She was a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Neurobiology at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México campus Juriquilla in Querétaro, México, working on the role of prolactin in cartilage survival in an animal model of rheumatoid arthritis. Since 2010, Dr. Méndez has been an Associate Researcher at the same institute. Her research primarily focuses on the molecular and biochemical mechanisms of the circadian biological clock, particularly how it is synchronized by food in the liver and muscle. Additionally, she studies the role of the glutamatergic system in the liver's physiology and inflammatory pathologies such as cirrhosis and hepatocarcinoma. Dr. Méndez is a member of the National Research System in México.
